New Mexico Game and Fish officials have caught a small bear roaming around northeast Albuquerque. The young female bear was captured late Sunday after being spotted near Tramway.
Officials say they caught the bear by darting her out of a tree. The bear is a young female, estimated to be around 8 months old.
Game and Fish will take the bear to the Wildlife Center, where a veterinarian will evaluate her. If she's healthy and large enough, officials say she will be released back into the wild.
